The owner of a Wetherby restaurant has said it was "humbling" to be a winner in the Nation's Curry Awards 2024.

Speaking after the Bengal Lounge won a Highly Commended award in the Local Restaurant of the Year category, Boktiar Hussain said: "I’m truly humbled and grateful to receive this recognition.

"I would like to give a special thanks to all our customers who have supported us since we opened our doors.

"Without you all we are nothing."
